To do stamping on your nails is fantastic fun and it also gives you the opportunity to change your manicure in millions of ways. I won't show you how to get the pattern on to your nails today but more how to get your stamper to work. All the information that I give to you today is tips I've gotten from much more experienced stampers in different forums on net. If you want to learn more just search You Tube there are endless information there. All these stampers that I will show you today has been sent to me from Edgy Polish. Katarina wanted me to try them out.

As you can see these different stampers have different sizes. Two of them has dubble sides. The white ones are of Silicon and the red one is rubber. And it's also obvious that one is not round. Which one you prefer is very individually, but I would say that if you are completely new to stamping the rubber one is what I would recomend. The white in silicon is also pretty much larger than the others. Those with dubble sides have two different sizes on the stamps.

On the pictures above you can see that there are differences in the stampers when it comes to firmness. The red rubber one is very firm while the other two are what is called squishy or soft. Again I can't really say that any of them is better than the other. It's a question of taste and habitual.The scrapers are as you can see also a bit different from each other. One has a metalledge and the other is plastic. Both is good but the plastic one keeps the plates without scratches.

Ok, then it's time to try how these stampers really work. I have Mundo De Unas color that I scrape over the pattern. And yes it is ok that it looks like all extra color hasen't been removed. Sometimes you can also try with another color or plate to see if it makes a difference. Let us first try how they work without any cleaning or priming.

Ok, that didn't go so well. The only one that picked up the pattern was the rubber one. This is the time when you probably starts cursing and saying that you will never try that stamper again. But hold on..

I guess we all that are into nails do own a nailfile or buffer. Use that to very gently grind against the stamper and after that you clean it again with acetone. And look it suddenly looks much better! So don't give up it's most likely not you that can't stamp but the stamper that needs some priming.

Some last advises to get your stamper to work the best and the longest. When you have placed your pattern on the nail and wants to remove the polish that is left on the stamper. Use a lint roller. Much nicer for the stamper than to use acetone all the time. And if you want something really good to prime your stamper with use Magic Eraser sponges. Awesome to make the stamper work.
